Jodie Foster won a Best Actress Oscar for her role
as a rape victim whose family persecutes her
quest for justice.
Sarah Tobias (Foster) is a waitress who likes to
drive, smoke pot and drive around with a scarlet
puss that spells SEX SAD! One night, while trying

walks a bar, where she meets and turns with some
patrons—and in a graphically violent sequence—
winds up being gang-raped on a picnic table.
Deputy DA Kathryn Murphy (Kelly McGillis) is
brought in to prosecute the case and believing that
Sarah's reputation would make her a poor witness
cuts a deal to have the rape charge reduced to
reckless endangerment. Enraged, Sarah ac-
cuses Kathryn of selling out, a charge the prosecu-
tor denies, until she meets a witness to the assault
who snarls "[Sarah is] a whore! The next time she
does another sex show, tell her I'll be right there to
cheer her on." That's when Kathryn decides to re-
open the case and prosecute the guys who will
